How Hoover Dam Was Built — Engineering the Impossible

Before engineers could build Hoover Dam, they had to answer one question: where do you put the river? This illustrated documentary explores how Hoover Dam was built—from diverting the Colorado River through tunnels to placing massive concrete blocks and cooling them from within. Discover the engineering behind its foundations, how the dam handles water pressure, and how turbines turn flowing water into electricity.
